We have hit a dozen and a half Same Cars, and what a glorious ride it has been.

I have looked through the list and from top to bottom each model has been a classic (some more than others) in their own right.

Still staying for the time being with the defunct brand(s).

Let's take a look at a classic (again some model years way more so than others) from Oldsmobile.

Up on the voting block is........ The Oldsmobile Toronado.

Here they are:

1967 Toronado:




1975 Toronado:




1984 Toronado:




1991 Toronado:




Make a choice.

Believe it or not, I am not voting for the original on this one. I would expect virtually everyone else to be voting on the 1967 model I have put up.

No! I patently refuse to. It isn't that I don't think the original generation of Toronado's are attractive, but the late 80's and early 90's last generation are the most attractive to me.

The last gen is a very tidy design, with the same gracefulness of the original. I like the original, but do find it be too large (at least too large looking), for my taste.

The middle two generations are just..... awful.

1967 all the way. One of the great styling exercises of all time!

Love the '67! True classic design that set the bar on being different!

'67 All the way. I remember back in '79 working at a Chevron service station, there was a family that owned three
66/67 Toronados. One afternoon, one of the cars battery decided to die which left it on the side of the road. My brother grabbed the jumper cables and we jumped into his '79 Luv and went to pick up the car. I got to drive it back to the Chevron station. The hood of that car seemed like it was fifteen feet long and the car kinda sloshed around corners. It was a handful but a very cool car. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Went for the 67.. but if U ever drove a last model Trofeo.. U would have known a different type of love. Very cool vehicle

1967... this was an easy one.

the 1967, it also has the best paint job too.

GM styling hit a high point in 1966 and '67 with their specialty cars. The Toronado, Riviera, and Eldorado('67and8) were among the most beautiful cars of all time.
Too bad auto manufacturer's today are clueless.

Give me the 1991 Toronado.

Too bad GM shut down Olds, they were on the leading edge with technology in the industry.

67

Uuuum.. Technically GM just told Olds Engineers and Designers to move their desks and shit.. over to Saturn. A few years later the were then told to do it again.. but this time... Chevy, Cadillac, or Buick.

The Aurora still looks good, and the last gen was out since 1999!



I mean, even the interior was pretty good on it, too.

Naw, they might have moved to the other brands, but where is the modern successor to the Aurora?
